Manual Muscle Testing 16 muscle groups/ motions will be tested (not individual muscles). 14 of these are tested bilaterally. (Observe for substitution, specifically rotation of forearm to mid position -brachioradialis). 2. Provide stabilization under elbow or anterior to the shoulder at proximal end of the Manual Muscle Testing was developed for the first time in the world during the 1860-1880 Most muscle tests used today in modern Manual Muscle Testing come from the physiotherapists Henry Deltoid middle Deltoid anterior -.

PP: Seated or standing Limb: Arm flexed 120°-135° Dir.Force/Patient: Holding arm up and stabilizing the scapula Dir.Force/Tester: Pushing arm toward shoulder extension attempting to force the scapula to adduct or wing. The deltoid muscle is like 3 muscles in 1: the anterior fibres flex the arm, lateral fibres abduct the arm and posterior fibres extend the arm. Contralaterally rotates the trunk. Clinical Testing. The deltoid can be easily viewed and felt to contract when the arm is abducted against resistance. The deltoid muscle is shaped like a triangle and made up of three parts, all of which flex and rotate the arm on the shoulder joint. More specific to the deltoid muscle is its integration within the entire arm, as this plays a role in surgical approaches. Due to the frontal placement of the anterior head of the Deltoid tuberosity on Axillary nerve (anterior superior lateral humerus. border of lateral 1/3 of shaft) Coracobrachialis Coracoid process Middle of the medial Musculocutaneous of Don't let resistance. me push it down OBJECTIVE: Origin and insertion & Manual Muscle Testing of Shoulder Joint. Inadequate strength on manual muscle testing of the deltoid is an absolute contraindication, and fixed contracture greater than 30 to 45 The posterior branch supplies the posterior portion of the muscle, arising from the scapular spine. The anterior branch innervates the acromial and clavicular portions.16.

Because it's involved in every chest exercise you do. Acting as a synergist The anterior fibers of the deltoid produce strong flexion of the humerus at the shoulder (bringing the humerus bone of the upper arm forward),1 and The supraspinatus muscle begins near the medial side of the scapula (close to the vertebrae and the center of the body) and runs to the superior part of The anterior fibers of the deltoid produce strong flexion of the humerus at the shoulder (bringing the humerus bone of the upper arm forward),1 and The supraspinatus muscle begins near the medial side of the scapula (close to the vertebrae and the center of the body) and runs to the superior part of
